zgillet Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Hi all. I'm 32 but remember playing Doom when it came out. I've had a love for videogames literally since I can remember. I love old arcade games all the way up to modern technology. I'm a computer programmer as well.

HDN Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Welcome, welcome, welcome, @zgillet! Hope you enjoy your time here. Never played DOOM. I considered picking it up for the SNES a while back, but decided to get some Atari stuff instead (I splurged a bit for Tunnel Runner) and a few GBA games. I also learned that the SNES version isn’t considered to be that great, and it’s a bit pricey. nosweargamer and socrates63 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Welcome, Zach! I played a ton of Doom back in the day. It's one of those games that is best on the PC due to the superior controls of mouse/keyboard. I like to see and play the various console versions (PS1 is my favorite), but for me, if I really want to play all the way through...PC. Stick around and keep on entering those nosweargamer giveaways. -RR HDN, socrates63 and nosweargamer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I didn’t know you were from around these parts! Which state? @zgillet, what are some of your favorite games/systems? I love the SNES, 7800, 2600, 3DS, and the entire Game Boy line, just to name a few! Super Metroid is my all-time favorite game! socrates63 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socrates63 Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 Welcome to the I/O @zgillet! Which industry do you work for or what type of programming do you do? I'm also in the tech sector, working as a program manager for SRE (kubernetes infra) teams. I remember playing Doom on my 386/33 when it first came out. It was groundbreaking and amazing. The community that it developed was unprecedented and the FAQ it spawned was quite the tome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zgillet Posted November 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 Thanks all! I remember my Godmother's son had a 2600 and that was the first time I played one - I believe after my first Nintendo or near it. Zach HDN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
